hey guys, I went to the Museum of flight at Boeing Field, yesterday and had a blast, and I'm writing a letter to MOF about a serious concern I have about it. tell me what you think?
Hello,
My name is (name blank for this forum). i had contacted you earlier about the Lockheed Constellation that you're restoring, but I'm contacting you about something different:
I was just at your museum on Saturday, March 6, 2010; and I loved it. I had such a great time. the only thing I did not like was those 5 graceful aircraft just sitting in the airpark under the blazing sun. as I got closer to them, I could see how much dirt and grime was on the aircraft.
the concorde had grime running down the seams from the cockpit windows, and the cabin windows. and I also saw the paint start to fade.
the Boeing 727-200 in the American Airlines livery, N874AA, that was the worst in my eyes. the airline name on the fuselage was severely faded and almost barely recognizable, the stripes running on the fuselage from bow to stern are also fading pretty badly.
the 737-100, N515NA wasn't too bad, but the anti-glare shield is looking very frayed .
the 747-100 (city of Everett) also needs a lot of work since it's very dirty and the paint is also fading under the sunlight.
and finally, as for the VC-137B Air Force One, it's not looking too bad, it seems to recieve the most attention, considering several US Presidents once flew in it. but it also needs some shade.
are you planning on building a fundraiser for a hangar extension for these proud aircraft and restoration? if so, I'd like to contribute, and if possible, spread the word.
